I love seeing nail art and wish I could do it myself when my nails are long. If I snap one then I set about shortening all my nails so they are all the same length. I do usually have my thumbs just a bit longer unless that is the one that snaps. It is difficult to type with long nails and seeing some ladies tapping away on a keyboard with super long nails is quite scary.
It looks wonderful.
I love the nails!
I love the Classic Neutral 🙂
They look neat and gorgeous
Love the Cheeky Cheetah mani, it looks good.
I like the Pink Stripes but would opt for the Classic Neutral for me
I love the silver glitter nail polish, but to me it looks like a dusky pink shade.
I like the classic neutral and the lilac.
